This is a landmark intellectual history of Britain's working
classes from the preindustrial era to the twentieth century.
Drawing on workers' memoirs, social surveys, library registers, and
more, Jonathan Rose uncovers which books people read, how they
educated themselves, and what they knew. A new preface addresses
the continuing relevance of the book amidst the upheavals of the
present day. "An astonishing book."-Ian Sansom, The Guardian "A
passionate work of history. . . . Rose has written a work of
staggering ambition."-Daniel Akst, Wall Street Journal Winner of
the SHARP Book History Prize, the American Philosophical Society's
Jacques Barzun Prize, and the British Council Prize cowinner of the
Longman-History Today Book of the Year Prize for 2001; named one of
the finest books of 2001 by The Economist.
